Abstract:
Injectable filler is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed annually. An aging face shows a characteristic loss of volume in the deep fat pads of the midface. The goal of midfacial rejuvenation with injectable filler is to restore lost volume, with the suborbicularis fat pad and deep medial cheek fat being the most critical areas. Filler can be instilled here with a cannula or needle with successful outcomes. However, this procedure is not without complications if proper technique and underlying anatomy are not respected.
